Put 7 bay leaves and 7 cloves of garlic in a bottle, then hide it in the house and see what happens within a week.

People who practice this often believe they’ll notice:

A lighter or calmer atmosphere at home

Fewer arguments or bad dreams

Sudden positive news, good luck, or a financial opportunity

A sense of protection from unwanted energies

Of course, this is anecdotal and based on spiritual or cultural traditions. If you try it, you might just feel a little more intentional or mindful about your space — which in itself can bring peace of mind.
